Women spend a great portion of their monthly budget on haircare and cosmetics. Of all these expenses, maintaining healthy, glamorous hair is usually at the top of the list. The average woman goes to the hair salon or gets professional haircare services every two weeks and depending on the city, prices can range from $20 for a trim to $250 for color treatment. Going to the salon can be quite expensive and many women have such a hard time keeping up with their beauty regimen, especially if you are single mother with rent to pay, a car note to maintain, and children to feed. So how can you still look fabulous, be on the go and save money?
Here is an easy guide to getting bouncy curls at home with 8 simple materials: rollers, bobby pins, leave-in conditioner, narrow-tooth rat tailed comb, wide-tooth comb, an old cotton pillowcase, scissors, affordable handheld hair dryer.
No need to spend $30-250 on a seated hood dryer or go the salon!
Step 1: Condition [combs, leave-in conditioner]
Start with your hair shampooed, conditioned, and lightly towel-dried. Choose your favorite leave-in conditioner and distribute it throughout the hair from root to tip. Gently detangle your hair using a wide-tooth comb.

Step 2: Roller-Set [combs, rollers, bobby pins]
- Divide your hair in sections as wide as a roller will support using the tail of the comb.
- Thoroughly detangle the hair again with the narrow-tooth comb for silky finish. Divide the hair again in smaller sections.
- Grip the hair stretched out and firmly roll it around each roller starting from ends to roots, making sure that the ends lay flat on the roller.
- As you firmly roll the roller toward your scalp, secure the roller by inserting a bobby pin parallel to the roller Insert a second pin if necessary.
- Repeat for each section until all the hair is set.
